As announced on the Velogames thread there will be no Velogames for the Tour de France due to licensing issues. In reality the Tour organisers are protecting their version. Whilst it’s not quite the same it has similar features

1. Pick a squad of 8 riders - mix of sprinters, GC and allrounders
2. Keep within set budget
3. Limited no of transfers (allowance gives you about 8 transfers throughout)
4. Choice of stage captain daily to double that riders points won that day.

The TdF doesn’t start until Saturday 29th August so you have plenty of time to study the rules of the game and assimilate yourself with what kind of squad you’ll need. The riders themselves don’t get announced until the weekend so you won’t be able to start picking your team yet but you can sign up and join the FMTTM League. We will back on Velogames for the Giro and Vuelta.

Thanks. It really sucks that Velogames are unable to run for the Tpur. Just had a run through the rules. Why do they have to complicate it with “stage captains” and not sure what these “credits” are. Why not just give you a small transfer allowance? The only good thing about being able to effect a change is that it eliminates the bad luck of losing a key squad member who has to abandon early. But still prefer Velogames. I’ve joined and it put me in the League automatically! Don’t know how it did that.
 
Not fit enough. Froome preparing for Vuelta and Thomas for Giro.

Carapaz in and will probably assume leadership duty if as speculation is correct Bernal isnt ready either or pulls up.
 
Slightly at a tangent (and touching wood) - The Cycling Bubble appears to have been really well organised. An awful lot of people in lots of races congregating together.
 
Just watching team interviews now.

G is saying the right things but his face tells a different story
 
I am in. It's all a bit different this year - the first time for a long time that no Brit will be in with a chance at winning it. Froome's omission was no surprise, but I thought that Thomas would be a shoe in.

Some would say Froome wasn’t a Brit :)
He spends no time here but it is on his passport from 2008

Thought that in the Dauphine Thomas was struggling. Was unable to maintain a turn at the front in Stage 1 and then didn't feature much at all after that. Was clearly not at the level required they want. Required a Giro leader once the decision was taken to moVe Carapaz over.
 
Im in although having had a year to improve last years poor effort disappointing to see it still over engineered. Im guessing it's because sponsors want a piece of the pie and they have to build these little extras in.

Could they have a game with no transfers at all like Velogames? Well no because they want more traffic to the site hence the existence of transfers.

The purist Road CC competition will suit many better.
 
Ok so the players roster lists should appear sometime this afternoon.

In the meantime if a fantasy competition without transfers is more your kind of game then like last year have opened a FMTTM League for the Road CC fantasy game. This is more akin to Velogames particularly the purist version. Select 8 cyclists within the defined budget and stick with it. No transfers. The only points difference is that you get points for 1 - 20 positions on each days stage plus points for being in the top 5 of the points, Young rider and Mountain comps each day and 1-10 on the gen class. No end of tour points. They chuck a 5 point bonus in for getting the daily lantern rouge.
